         <description><![CDATA[<p>My capital (Valhalla) is a utopian design </p><p>1) there is a central government and a town hall that listens to all the comments of the residence </p><p>2)There will be a central bank that will mange the country’s finances and prints money. It will be fully owned by the government.</p><p>3) the city will have only a small canyon as an entrance that only 5 men can stand shoulder to shoulder and small bunkers will be on the canyon walls and trip wires will be used in a war time as also there are underground tunnels systems to let residents to escape if it goes south also the city has a large number of towers with anti missel systems and SAMS for city defense.</p><p>4) There will be emergency services 24/7 and you only need to dial one number, 1. The police station and hospital ER never close and the fire department will always respond no matter what is the circumstance.</p><p>5)all residence will never need to leave the country because there are mines they explore and fun activities and it takes 2 years to get citizenship however they must single handedly kill 10 tigers in 60 seconds.</p><p>6) The airport will be underground and planes will take off vertically. There will be about 500 soldiers who will protect it because of its big size. There will only be an arrivals terminal for international flights as you are not allowed to leave the country once you enter and a domestic terminal for departures and arrivals. The passport control will take your passport  as you would not require it anymore. Citizens will receive a 50% discount on all flights.</p><p>7) there are many public services that can be accessible like bars(non alcoholic), and buggy jumping, however businesses employees can enter and leave the city but once they monopolise a product they will instantly become government property. also a permanent service that keeps you alive forever.</p><p>8) The education will be free. Private schools will not be allowed so everyone can have a good education. University will also be free for those who get 100/100 in all grades. You can get citizenship after university if you can survive 7 days in mine with water once a day.</p><p><br/></p><p>This is a utopian city that can’t be compared to others which is why it’s utopian and superior.</p>]]></description>
